    ♪♪

  • Woo hoo! TJ rocks! And that chick is HOT!

  • Ah, seus gringos, vocês não comnhecem o "tio" Reginaldo Rossi ...

  • dave plays toms song better than he does

  • This song was written by the Talking Heads. Dave's version is very good though

  • Bet Tom tapped that....

  • less cocaine in this version i think.... but its still good

  • No! They didn't do cocaine in the 80's, Did they?

  • I miss Talking Heads' version of this song, but this song is still great!

  • Good cover, they did something different with it and I like the cage match aspect of the video. I'm pretty sure she could take him.

  • fuck this version is awesome!

    Tom Jones is the coolest 100 year old out there!

  • ahhhhh why did you do this to the talking heads?!

  • TJ and the Cardigans. Don't get any better than this. << That's right!!!!  Thanks for posting...

  • it stinks talking heads sing it way better

  • Comment removed

  • There is something really wrong with you RagtimeFoxy.

  • She has a beautiful voice but yeah she is a bit ugly in the face

  • So true, it's funny.

  • the band The Used covered this song but it is soo much better

    haha this is real bad

    =p

  • as a huge talking heads fan i can safely say that this is honestly one of the best covers i've ever heard of any song in my entire life

  • have you ever heard Bonnie Raitt's version? I can't find it on UT.

  • complete blasphemy

  • I like this song

  • Don't that chick look just like Avril Lavigne?

  • yeah!! she does

  • What the fuck? This is terrible, man. Gross. Bad mixture.

  • you are ignorant. hahaha

  • Maybe there is a level of cool beyond hot a Scandinavian chick with smouldering eyes, but if there is, I don't care to see it. My head might explode.

  • this is actually not bad at all.....no reason not to include the intro

  • I love Talking Heads. But I like the way these guys do it.

  • love this song thanks for posting this vid. five stars.

  • The man's on fire! He's the Boss! I thought the Cardigans were over with but she's still got it. Great song, great duo.

  • I summon a fireball of infinite dsmage to burn ice the not-so-great devil.

  • I love nina persson

  • great song, but after 9/11, "ppl on their way 2 work say babi wat do u expect, gonna burst into flame" gives me the creeps!

  • Nina Persson is certainly hot in this... but the drummer seriously has the edge for me! X^}

  • great , but why don't you put your advertisments somewhere else!

  • this song was number one hit in Bosnia 1993 - 1995. We burned the whole joint down...

  • he did bad ass on this one but the one he did on black betty he fucked it up bad

  • 365 days of heat headed to British Columbia !!!

  • you might not like the video, but you MUST admit that Nina Persson is hot as FUCK!!!

  • Damn Straight!

  • Not into the bad 3D dancing.

  • Looks like flexible people in body suits to me...

    Their skin ripples like a body suit would, and there's black areas for their eyes... I don't know.

  • Love the camera angles of Tom and Nina however the 3D dancing is rit

  • tom jones is great gusmac if u dnt like it dnt fukin look it up u nugget

  • Come on, of COURSE the Talking Heads version is better. But, this is much better than the many shitty covers of Psycho Killer out there. I don't know for sure, but I think David Byrne would approve. ;-D

  • god save THE TIGER...

  • Nina Persson is a fucking babe

  • Come on now...it aint that bad.

  • Love Ton Jones!!!!!

  • There was another cover of this, but all of the vocal were done by a female. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

  • Totally agree!

  • lol 1:25

  • lmao

  • song's got sex all over it

  • i cant stop listening!!! oh well. gonna have to put an end to this. where'd i put my gun....

  • Man I love this song, what a blast from the past!

    That lass is sexy as hell. I want to make love to her right now god damn it.

  • the talking heads are better but this is ok

  • i like both verions. any one that wants to bash this version can allways watch the original and never return to this video.

    nina rocks hands down and thats the last word..........................­..........

  • I absolutely love the Original by the Talking Heads, but I also love when someone like Tom Jones can take it and turn it into a different musical concept like Funk, really great cover.

  • this is so awesome especially those silver peeps i mean what the hell weird but great

  • Back for more, loving the rythem guitar lick, sooooo funky.

  • I like this.

  • 2nd in line for best talking heads cover right behind psycho killer by VR witch was just rediculous the cardigans cannot match that

  • I'm sorry but tom jones is just the man, one of the funkiest guys in existence lol. hes kept well in his older age an he is the definition of a ladies man. pure ledge in my opinion.

  • nina ha gli occhi più belli che abbia mai visto....sei bellissima

  • To state Talking Heads version is better, is a fairly idiotic statement. Of course it is. It was one of the greatest rocks songs of all time. That's why other big artists do other versions. Get it?

    I rather enjoyed this version. I give it an 8+ for it's category.

  • sucks! the talking heads version is much better!

  • i think all remixes of original songs r shit.

  • Great version of this song. Still the Talking Heads do it the best.

  • Burnin' Down The Pussy - it's not so easy; - because they all shaved ---

    .. so I must go to the Amazon --- & that was it

  • that was unnecessary.

  • That's a kind way to say it. I reread my offering to the world a few days ago and felt, deservedly, like a fool.

  • Obviously Metachronism has not seen the talking heads version judging from his description. This is absolutely not "60 minutes on acid"

  • they go together better than Bill and Monica

  • The main characters in this video creep me out

    Cocaine overuse perhap

  • love love love this song!!!!!

    what are the cardigans doing right now??

    does anyone know?

  • a bloody amazing song!!!

    love the face at 1.25.

  • I like this version. I like the spin they put on it. The original is still the best, but this is a good version.

  • I love the song and I love her eyes.

  • not bad, but original is much better

  • As always...

    Original=1

    Copies=1000's degradations of the original...

  • BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THANKS.

    sdfj sdfops dfkpsd ofk

  • Listen... without the original You can not make degradations of it...

  • gotta say i prefer his face at 1.25. pure heaven

  • 2:54 facing the camera by far

  • Tom Jones is the man, his face at 0:46 is chock full of win

  • Sacrilege!!

    A decent cover, but not my cuppa tea.

    But I still love Tom Jones.

  • btw that girl is so effn hawt im jelous

  • this is so weird... how did i find this? lol but this is weird in a cool way

  • though i love the talking heads version much more this one ROCKED very good but NOTHING COMPARED TO DAVID IN CONCERT ASKING IF ANYONE HAS A MATCH AND THEN ROCKING OUT TO BURNIGN DOWN THE HOUSE

  • Uhhhh I like the Talking Heads' a lot better. . . X_x this version kinda scares me...

  • this is beyond bad, i can't think of a word to discribe how horrible this is...

  • lmao, this shit is creepy

  • i agree, she freaks me out

  • This song is class. Thanks for posting Metachronism

  • I hate Tom Jones´ close ups...

  • I used to suspect that Tom Jones was the anti-Christ. This video confirmed my suspicions.

  • I cant see or hear tom jones without thinking about the carlton dance

  • eww. and i have this song on a cd and this is NOT it

  • You've probably got the original Talking Heads version. They're both great.

  • tommy jones is a legend

  • that blond singer is hot

  • yep ! Nina Persson is gorgeous

  • it's not unusual to be freaked out by this video

  • Tom has a nice voice, but he's ugly as all hell.

  • go i love mr jones

  • Man, this is catchy.

  • i like tom can be creepy tho fuckin meth head

  • man,TJ's disscusting,hate what he represent,but this cover is...WOW! he looks like he's high on meth and she's like sedated.what a clash!like coke'n'smack

  • "man,TJ's disscusting,hate what he represent,"

    The Welsh?

  • i just don't like tom.when i see him i think of the end of monty python's 'meaning of life' and chapmans impersonation -it' x-mass in heaven track.i see him a american sweet as one can be

  • tom jones is the master of cool

  • fantastic version.

  • I meant both, damn typo.

  • Talking Heads has more street credibility, but what does that BS matter, they're bith good.

  • talking heads is way better

  • Well, I don't know about the guy...

  • how dare they insult the talking heads like this...

  • How dare they? This kicks infinite ass. This isn't an insult and if you the Heads disapprove of this cover then who gives a damn. Tom Jones > You.

  • I don't really agree with OatTheGoat in some ways. I don't really like the video, but I think that the song is great! It's a great interpretation, and although the Talking Heads version is awesome, this is good too.

  • DO NOT DISRESPECT THE TIGER.

  • Then don't listen to it, and miss out on the pure unadulterated win that is Tom Jones.

  • well aparently everyone commenting on this video prefers terrible fudge packing remakes of good songs over the real versions and i guess thats alright. sorry i ever commented on it to begin with

  • Tom Jones a "faggot"?

    Boy, you really know nothing, do you?

  • hrmm... boy, this is getting bizarre. A simple allusion to Tom Jones's persona, personal history, reputation and charater is all that was meant by this. No time to chat about a video anymore--I have to go do something more important, like fight crime or cure cancer. Or perhaps solve the world's energy crisis. With Tom Jones.

  • HAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

  • Dude , even if he does like guys , he's still has had more women then the Rolling stones and Aerosmith !

  • i hope you were joking becuase i actually laughed out loud when i read your comment.

  • Wow! He's on fire, and she's just 5 degrees below room temperature. It's like Tom's performing solo, with a pretty, thin model pretending to sing back at him. When they actually duet a line together, she disappears completely.

  • what cd is this from???I need to know now lol!

  • That is pretty g-d, fucking fabulous.

  • It would be better if the chick would stop singing.

    THE VOICE is the only singer in this video.

  • Nina Perrsons looks Great in this vid!!

  • Talkin' heads ok but nobody beats Tom Jones...

  • this tepid version can't hold a burning candle to Talking Heads original - especially their live one!

  • COMMUNIST!!!!!

  • i hated this song when it came out but it grew on me. gotta love tom jones.

  • Welsh Legend! Well done tom im proud to be welsh

  • Yeah! Welsh American here. Tom makes me proud.

  • pause it at 3:30

    funnyness lolz

  • it's very very nice this song

    i love tom and cardigans

    super!!!!!

  • That weird smile at 2:06 is adorable

  • i recon aye.....shes got the cutest expressions

  • does she have false teeth?

  • wish jones did more songs like this...got the best voice but sang kinda shitty songs

  • the girl sounds kinda like gwen stafani a little bit, love this song!

  • this was way before gwen stefani

  • yeah i thought so, but wen i first heard it it reminded me of her

  • He sure has great white teeth.

  • MY HOUSE!!!

    Love it, beats TH hands down. We love you Mr. Jones!

  • Lol I used to listen to this when I was like..4 or 5 rofl.

  • Just because someone copies someone else doesn't mean the origanal is any worse or better. It just means there are more versions, like or dislike, it's up to you but for god sake get over yourselves.

  • This is brilliant. If there is one person in the music industry who made it big time on camp and schtick alone, it is TJ. What you wankers don't get is TJ never has taken himself seriously. 99.999% of all covers are total crap (Michael Bolton comes to mind here). TJ just did what he does best, total camp and it works! Don't get me wrong, I love TH and DB=genius! (Check out my channel)But this is one of the few covers I like. Hooray for you TJ. I like it and I'll bet DB does as well!
